VirtualDose-IR: a cloud-based software for reporting organ doses in interventional radiology.
Article in Physics in medicine and biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A cloud-based software, VirtualDose-IR (Virtual Phantoms Inc., Albany, New York, USA), designed to report organ doses and effective doses for a diverse patient population from interventional radiology (IR) procedures has been developed and tested. This software is based on a comprehensive database of Monte Carlo-generated organ dose built with a set of 21 anatomically realistic patient phantoms. The patient types included in this database are both male and female people with different ages reflecting reference adults, obese people with different BMIs and pregnant women at different gestational stages. Selectable parameters such as patient type, tube voltage, filtration thickness, beam direction, field size, and irradiation site are also considered in VirtualDose-IR. The software has been implemented using the 'Software as a Service (SaaS)' delivery concept permitting simultaneous multi-user, multi-platform access without requiring local installation. The patient doses resulting from different target sites and patient populations were reported using the VirtualDose-IR system. The patient doses under different source to surface distances (SSD) and beam angles calculated by VirtualDose-IR and Monte Carlo simulations were compared. For most organs, the dose differences between VirtualDose-IR results and Monte Carlo results were less than 0.3 mGy at 15 000 mGy * cm
